Know Your Body Through Sound

I think I first noticed it when listening to some autechre track: everything else had dropped out and there were just these pulsating bleep noises and I felt this odd tingling sensation in (what seemed to me like) the back of my neck. A few months later I was walking in the street when I experienced that same, distinctive tingling. There wasn't any music playing, so I looked around for a possible source. Finally, I looked up and saw a flashing neon sign a few meters above my head that must have been emitting a similar high-frequency sound.

So this is where you talk about your physical reactions to certain sounds.

The high melodies in Aphex Twin's "Meltphace 6" always make me drop whatever it is that I'm doing and feel huge pins and needles on my back and scalp.

Does somebody have a link to this, or else could they summarize it? I suspect she's talking about a certain phenomenon I've experienced on other occasions.

I have a visceral reaction to the deep bass drop-outs in MIA's music. Also the processes vocals in Fall Out Boys' "Apologize" (not autotuned, I presume) and to the flutes in Mariah's "I Stay In Love"
